A pipe leak in your kitchen can turn into water damage. Call SERVPRO right away to dry out your property and help prevent mold.

Team SERVPRO Takes Small Water Damage Seriously by Thoroughly Drying Our Your Property After an Event 

The pipe leak under the kitchen sink is the cause of a minor flood emergency in your home. You did turn off the faucet when you left the house to run a few errands. When you came home an hour later, you saw less than a few inches of water on the floor. Contacting a professional right away may help reduce damages to your home. When small leaks such as this are left to dry naturally, mold and bacteria may develop. Professional water removal services can offer successful results if you act fast.
 
Our SERVPRO water damage services in Goulding include water extraction. It is the initial step we take when restoring homes after a water emergency, big or small. Generally, a leaking pipe does not generate high volumes of water, so our technicians may mop up the water or may use a portable extractor. This device can efficiently and quickly remove water from the structure. Also, we may use a vacuum to extract moisture. Our goal is to eliminate standing water as rapidly as possible. The faster we remove the water, the quicker the structure dries.
 
After the water extraction phase, our technicians dry the area. To accomplish this, we may use axial fans or air movers. Also, heaters may be put in place to expedite the drying process. While a leaking pipe might seem like an insignificant event, moisture can quickly seep underneath the flooring. The amount of water and the condition of the floor tile are critical factors in determining if the floor tile needs replacing. Our crew may use several drying techniques that include air movers, dehumidifiers and axial fans to correct the problem. Dehumidifiers pull the airborne moisture to help the drying process. Over time, moisture can cause problems with your floor such as tile removal that may require you to call a contractor, which is why acting fast is urgent.
 
Airflow is one of the most important tools our SERVPRO water damage techs use. Drying structures effectively requires knowing which drying technique to implement. The position of the air mover is vital to the drying process. We can place the air mover at a 45-degree angle so that air bounces off the wall and carries moisture away which is replaced by drier air that speeds up the drying.
